We introduce a prototype educational system as an intelligent tutorial system for individuals with multiple sclerosis in various ranges and stages of symptoms. The educational system incorporates handwriting, speech recognition and speech synthesis technologies to aid the patients more effectively than currently available educational tools. The architecture of the system combines Tablet PCs and a High Performance Workstation (HWP) to perform as clients and a server. The Tablet PC provides part of the user system to the advanced tutorial system that is operated by the HWP. Our initial experiments showed our system can be used as an effective tool for the individuals with multiple sclerosis.

Disney produced a television show in the mid 1990s called Gargoyles. It's a great show and I'm a big fan. A few years ago Disney started to release the show on DVD. The last release was of season 2, volume 1. That was two years ago. Volume 2 has not been released. Why? Poor sales. So if you should find yourself wanting to support my work, instead I ask you pick up a copy of season 2, volume 1. It's a great show and you might find yourself enjoying it.
